In the third round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona faced Olympiacos at home. In the last round of the Champions League, Barcelona lost 1-2 at home to Paris.

The Spanish media "World Sports" reported that despite the absence of important players such as Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, Rafinha, Olmo and Joan Garcia due to injuries, as well as the long-term injuries of Garvey and Ter Stegen, Flick will still use the lineup from the previous game, although Christensen ended the training early yesterday due to physical discomfort.

Although the lineup is still uneven, Barcelona needs to find its best form. Flick said yesterday that he might make some adjustments to the starting lineup, such as letting Rashford serve as a forward, Fermin returning to the attacking midfielder position, and giving Araujo a chance to start in recognition of his outstanding performance in the last game.

In addition, Badji may also get a chance to start. He will appear on the left wing, while Yamal, who has recovered, will return to the right wing. The possibility of them swapping positions with Fermin is not ruled out. Barcelona need to beat Olympiacos to improve their ranking in the Champions League stage and prepare themselves mentally for the upcoming El Clasico.
